I've known Brittanie since I was 7 years old. She is the youngest of 3 sisters; her eldest sister and I were BFFs in elementary school, and now we all stay connected through our love of animals, more specifically horses. Brittanie didn't really ask me to photograph her wedding, we all sort of figured I would be doing it since I also had the wonderful privilege of doing her engagement photos. One of the things I adore about this family is their deep love for their family. Through the years, they have tragically lost family members. The tears in their eyes as she honored her grandparents through her great aunt in their ceremony; to the tears she shed while putting on her dress because her cousin surprised her with "something blue and close to her heart" being a piece of her uncle's Seahawks hat that he wore everywhere he went. This family has been through a great deal of loss, but they carry those they love with them. On Brittanie's wedding day, she had her uncle close to her heart; her grandparents represented in many ways, and a locket on her bouquet of her uncle who passed in 2008. Weddings are a celebration of 2 lives becoming 1. Who better to celebrate the addition of a family with, than family itself. It was a beautiful day and I am forever grateful to have captured it for Brittanie and Lindsay. Congrats my friends! (All images copyright and property of Cheval Photos / Selena Frederick).
